I saved ev ’ry let ter you wrote me.

Do you know what An (F#)gel i ca said when we (Gmaj7)saw your first let ter ar (D)rive?

She said, “Be care ful with (F#)that one, love.

He will (Gmaj7)do what it takes to sur (D)vive.” You and your (Bm)words flood ed my (F#)sens es.

Your (Gmaj7)sen tenc es left me de (D)fense less.

You built me (Bm)pal ac es out of (F#)par a graphs, you built ca (Gmaj7)the drals.

I’m re (Bm)read ing the let ters you (F#)wrote me.

I’m (Gmaj7)search ing and scan ning for (D)an swers in (Em7)ev er y (Bm)line, for some kind of (F#)sign, and when you were mine

the world seemed

to burn.

(D)Burn.

You (Bm)pub lished the let ters she (F#)wrote you.

You (Gmaj7)told the whole world how you (D)brought this girl (D)in to our (Bm)bed.

In clear ing your (F#m)name, you have ru ined our lives.

Do you know what An (F#)gel i ca said

when she read what you’d (D)done?

She said, “You have mar ried an (F#m)Ic a rus.

He has (Gmaj7)flown too close to the (D)sun.” You and your (Bm)words, ob sessed with your (F#)leg a cy...

Your (Gmaj7)sen tenc es bor der on (D)sense less, (D)and you are (Bm)par a noid in ev ’ry (F#)par a graph how they per (Gmaj9)ceive you.

You, you, you...
